Canada and USA should work together
Canada and USA should work togetherTrump has been saying for years (long before he became President) that duties and tariffs were needed in order to put Americans back to work.
He is now in a position to make some major changes and while he may get away with import duties on goods coming in from Mexico, I think he will find China to be extremely difficult to deal with.
The last thing needed is a trade war because if he decides to tax Chinese imports they will retaliate and could cut of exports of REEs and graphite etc. which would have Mr Musk and many others tearing their hair out.
The answer may be for Pres.Trump to subsidize and encourage graphite mining in America.
ALABAMA is close to producing and subsidies would be a shot in the arm.
Trudeau and Trump are meeting to-morrow Feb 13th and since Canada has a number of graphite mines (few of which are actually producing) it may be a topic worth discussing.
